Before the player accepts mission 2, there would be a chance that Manhattan NPCs tell a rumor about Juni being at Manhattan waiting for you, even though you are literally in the same bar. Hence this rumor will not be told by Manhattan NPCs anymore.
There is an inconsistency in the story cutscenes where with the previous config, you could see a doppelganger of the Manhattan bartender. Therefore, it is better to revert the changes for now.
Changed the Manhattan bartender to the one you see during the story cutscenes. Also ensure that the Manhattan bartender already knows Trent when starting a new game.
After the first bartender cutscene, there would be a small chance that a rumor would be given about Trent signing on to work with Juni. However, this would be before you even had the chance to talk to her. Now the rumor will only be told after the first mission has been accepted, which chronologically makes the most sense.
